Seymour Goes to Hollywood

Seymour Goes to Hollywood is a 1993 DOS platform adventure starring Seymour, a character whose career apparently involves getting into trouble in increasingly ridiculous locations. This time he finds himself wandering through a Hollywood-inspired world packed with obstacles, enemies, puzzles, and the sort of cartoon hazards that make perfectly ordinary objects look dangerous. The game combines traditional platforming with exploration and item collection, requiring players to learn enemy patterns and discover the right way through each stage. Its bright presentation and playful tone keep the experience lighthearted, even when the difficulty decides to become considerably less friendly. Seymour's Hollywood adventure has the unmistakable flavor of early-1990s platform games, when developers were perfectly happy to throw a cartoon character into a level and see what happened. It is colorful, energetic, occasionally mischievous, and a fine reminder that Hollywood careers were once considerably easier to obtain if you could jump very high.
